Last Night, my 8 month old boy, Tristan Storm, was rambling in his cute little way he always does, and I noticed something I notice all the time (just in a smaller magnitude then usual), but have never really shared with many people before. So I thought I would share to see if others notice similar things going on in thier own lives.

When Tristan was rambling, He would yell at me ever so often. But this wasn't the so called normal "rambling" or "yelling" that most people notice about babies. I was actually internally understanding what he was thinking about and feeling each time. And I am almost certain that He (and all babies for that matter) is actually intuned to what is happening and it is comforting to him when I notice it. I believe that all children/babies do this type of thing, but as they get older, I have reasons to believe that we may supress this capability as we get more involved in our outer environment and less involved with our internal selves. I am not sure how to describe how this actually happens yet, but I have noticed this type of thing with my other children as well, but it seems it has become more conciously developed in me the past couple of years. I even notice this with other peoples children now. I can just feel what they are thinking or feeling. And it is always the warmest, sweetest feeling I have ever gotten when I am paying attention to this. Especially with other peoples kids for some reason. My belief is that maybe I get more affectionate about it with other peoples kids because,
1. I am used to it with my children and like wise they are used to me doing this.
2. Most often I feel like the other children I have been around probably have never had someone in thier life connect with them that way and they instantly feel comforted by me when I am around them. It is as if they conciously understand it more then myself.
I have a lot of theories on this. I am not sure how many other people understand this type of occurance much more then I do or actually experience this regularly, and can maybe put it to words better then I can, but never the less, it always makes me shift into a very peaceful, almost dream like, state of mind as it occurs. I really enjoy this seemingly small ability and how it has been getting stronger over the years.
